I almost except that there is a strict mathematical relation between notes that 'work' together in chords, so if chord structure is algorithmic and hence deterministic i see no reason why other aspects of music can not be i cant remember the exact details of the ratios involved although i can look it up if you are interested, the guy who did a lot of the work in this field is, i believe, christopher longuet-higgins who has been involved in a few other computational/music areas. merf
